Rugby Refereeing Course

This course is run by Munster Referee Development Manager, Mr Chris Harrington, and is a pilot course run by the M.A.R and the IRFU aimed at attracting young referees into the game.

By doing this course we can referee games at under 14 and under 15 level. Marc Byrne, Daniel Philpott Vendrels and Adam Lahique are taking part.

Our aim is to improve our knowledge of the laws of rugby, to move up the levels of refereeing and to contribute to the game of rugby in the school.
